Nice work on the egret plumage, Peter. It looks very white while retaining good detail. I could see more room for the virtual legs if you have it in the original. There’s a light colored spot in the upper left zone that you might want to remove as it tends to catch my eye.

I like the pose here. It looks like this bird is intent on business and has somewhere to go.

Hi Dennis
I just opened it up some and remove the spot I think you were talking about.

Hi, Peter - this is a fine image - nice pose, perfect handling of the whites, and the dark BG really makes the heron “pop”. The bit of reflection is great, too.
Very nice work!

You found the spot, Peter. Excellent job on the repost.

Hi Peter, nice details and a fine pose with the head turn towards us. Exposure looks really good - nice job against that dark BG. Good subject placement - well done.
